Figure 2. Comparison of Anther Development in the Control and Drought-Stressed Plants.
(A) Drought stress caused aberrant anther development.
(a) Anther of stage 8 under normal growth conditions. (b–d) Abnormal anther development of stage 8 under drought stress. (e) Anther of stage
11 under normal conditions. (f–h) Abnormal anther development of stage 11 under drought stress. (i) Anther of stage 12 under normal growth
conditions. (j–m) Abnormal anther development of stage 12 under drought stress. Red arrows indicate abnormal sites. Scale bars: 50 μm.
(B) Statistical analysis of the abnormal phenotypes (n > 200).
